Certified Pet Pal: Tailored PetCare

Pet care experience

From my childhood days my first pet at the age of 8, I've been immersed in the joy of caring for pets. In my home country, I've lovingly tended to a diverse family that includes 8 cats, 6 dogs, 4 chinchillas, and a turtle, all of whom are now under my family's care, though dearly missed since I had to leave for school. Having forged deep connections with each pet while caring for them, they've become my best friends. Now, I'm thrilled to extend that love to your furry family members through my services. With flexibility and reliable transportation, I've cared for cats and dogs, handling medication, exercise, and training with diligence. As a student and professional photographer, my work-from-home lifestyle allows me to offer pet care in my downtown Vancouver apartment. Your beloved pets will not only receive meticulous care but also bask in the heart of the city. Let me ensure your fluffy companion feel cherished and loved, following your care instructions to the letter.

I have known Carina since I was 7 and I have always known her for having several pets in her house! Whenever I visit her I get greeted by a bunch of well-taken poodles, and she always enthusiastically shows me her pet chinchilla and turtles. As a pet lover myself, I appreciate her effort and knowledge in handling such animals and knowing the limitations of her actions with these animals (some people could be so rough and demanding!) As such, I believe that she could be a responsible pet caregiver and that she could be trustworthy for doing such a delicate task.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Carina for several years, and in that time, I have come to know her as an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. Since she was young, Carina has shown an extraordinary passion for animals, extending her care and compassion to dogs and a variety of other animals with dedication and love. Carina possesses a deep understanding of the needs of pets, which comes from years of personal experience and a genuine interest in their well-being. Whether it's her attentive care, her ability to connect with pets, or her dedication to ensuring they are happy and healthy, her qualities as a pet caregiver are truly exceptional. Her commitment to the animals she cares for is evident in every action she takes. From regular walks and playtime to ensuring they have a balanced diet and receive medical attention when necessary, she goes above and beyond to make sure the pets in her care feel loved and secure. I wholeheartedly recommend Carina to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her experience, combined with her passion for animals, makes her an ideal choice for anyone wanting the best for their pet.

Carina is amazing with pets! She helped me and looked after my dog for a week and everything went great. She made sure that she knew all the information she needs and really payed attention to my dog. I highly recommend Carina as a pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in giving pets the freedom they deserve. In my high-end, pet-friendly apartment nestled in downtown Vancouver near Robson Street not far off Stanley Park. Your furry companions are welcome everywhere – beds, sofas, carpets, you name it. The spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom setup offers ample room for medium-sized pets to play and unwind at their leisure. Living alone allows me to focus on providing 24/7 supervision. Being both a student and the sole proprietor of a start-up photography business, I work from home, ensuring your pets are never alone. My apartment is well-equipped with pet essentials, including bowls and a litter box, catering to their every need. Beyond the cozy confines of the apartment, your pets will enjoy walks around the vibrant city and the picturesque Stanley Park also nearby. Trust that your beloved companions will receive the utmost care and attention in this pet paradise. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's daily routine. Before you entrust your furry companion to my care, you'll receive a set of questions about their daily habits. From their feeding schedule to how often they enjoy outdoor adventures and the activities they find fun with you, I'll gather all the details. My commitment is to follow their routine as closely as possible, ensuring they feel right at home and comfortable in my space. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. As a fellow pet owner previously myself, I understand the desire to stay connected and reassured about your furry companion's well-being. During their stay in my care, I'll make it a priority to keep you updated with messages and pictures at least once a day. If you ever feel the need for more frequent updates, I'm more than happy to accommodate your requests. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and your peace of mind are of utmost importance to me. Please note that our daycare service is based on an 8-hour duration. If your pet requires extended care, additional costs will apply. I'm committed to providing flexible options to meet your pet's needs while ensuring their comfort and well-being. Feel free to discuss any specific requirements or inquire about extended care arrangements. Your pet's safety and happiness is our priority!

A typical day

I'm passionate about long, stimulating walks and indoor playtime with your pet, ensuring they stay active and entertained. Cuddles are a must, but only if they're welcomed! For our feline friends, I engage in playful activities with wand toys or any preferred toys. If your cat enjoys outdoor adventures, I'm eager to accompany them on walks. Pets are welcome to sleep wherever they find comfort, be it with me or elsewhere. Their happiness is my #1 priority!
